Gentlemen Sport code...

yeah, I guess I've experienced that as well. It is rather annoying. I think because I play with 3 or 4 other friends, I dont have to put up with that - controlling WHO you race with becomes a real advantage and I overlooked that fact.

 

A slightly more in depth guide:

(Written for GPL but still applies)

 

Very good tips, even though the 3rd one is quite problematic currently IMO, because we don't have slipstream yet, so it makes overtaking very very hard without mistakes.

 

I'm an old school online gamer. 1996, quake, 200x200 window, 33.6 modem.

We had an unwritten code of conduct called netiquette.

As PC' have become more popular through the years I have noticed a decline in this to a point where it is nearly non-existent. This saddens me

 

There would be no problems at all if everyone would follow the Golden Rule -

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

 

Man you made me cry...tons of memories

 

Yea, that's good. For better English, it should be 'in' braking zone, not 'on', though.

Its pretty important, too. One of those things that isn't talked about much, but happens enough that it should be.

 

Would be great, but its far more important to actually understand racing etiquette and abide by it rather than racing by what you personally find it acceptable for others to do, as that will be different from person-to-person.

 

I race for fun not first so I won't "defend" my position, if your faster I will let you pass when I can and I will see if I can learn anything. I am also happy to say I bumped some poor bugger so I stopped, waited for him to get back on the track in front of me and the race began again. I won the race too, that's the way to do it

I might suggest having the track map up as well. I don't use this for navigating, I use this for if I go of the track for any reason. This came about because I pulled back onto the track after being taken out once and took another driver out. It then occurred to me that if I have that map up I can check where I can't see. Now I wait, I may lose positions but not as many as if I got hit getting back on.

 

Such a code of conduct seems to be necessary to have fun. Unfair driving is really annoying... i hope there will be some improvements soon to punish completely lunatic or even destructive behavior... just like this...



He/she did that to many others at the last 2 laps btw...

For so long be fair and carefully.

 

Hate those kids...

 

My two tips....use the virtual mirror (f11) if breaks immersion a little but is a courtesy to the other racers.
The Golden Rule: You block, you pay.

 

I don't think anybody that is educated enough to read this forum and even more - have the passion to actually race, would do ridiculous things like sniping people out of corner, drive backwards and what not. Even if he (whoever that might be), don't know about the 1-move rule, he will quickly learn why it's not healthy for him to do so. Driving the wrong way is just common sense... Those guys have 'fun' in their own way, they are not interested in becoming faster or race, for them it's all a game of bumper cars. Even if Kunos put those things in the main menu, right before everyone's eyes, there will still be guys who are way out of their place, kids, immature players of all sorts, etc. It's been like this for since the dawn of racing games. And that's the problem. For them - it's just a game. For us, it's a simulation, along with all the racing etiquettes you can think of. The sim is coded in the game engine, the racing attitude - in the brain of the racer.

 

I live in hope that this sim is just too difficult to drive for the type of idiots you refer to, and they'll soon move on to arcade type games when they realise they can't keep the car on track for more than 2 corners.

 

@iVG my "don't drive backward" was almost a joke, just to a fun on it, since it's such a common problem
Unfortunatly, for now, the only way to deal with kids it's private servers. OK, It's not the best thing to do, but we're still in alpha.
The Basic Rules are ment to be for beginners who would like to learn how to behave correctly on track, tips on how overtake without crashing ect....
Anyway, thanks for your opinion, always welcome

 

you, sir, are welcome on my track any day!

 

Absolutely right, nicely said... and it's also a question of liking it to have fun by ruining the fun of others. Therefore it's also a question of having a likeable personality. ;-)

 

The idea was presented to have an Assetto Corsa FORUM track... it seems like if what iVG said is true, then a forum only track might be the best race going!

 

That is what we are doing almost every night on the Wealthysoups's private server. 100000000000000000000000000000000x better than public.

 

Right, nice server with nice people...
